The Miami Dolphins will be without one of their best players when they take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday afternoon at FedEx Field. 

Safety Jevon Holland is included among the Dolphins' inactives. 

Holland was listed on the practice report this week as dealing with issues with both of his knees.  He didn't make it back onto the practice field until Friday in a limited fashion, so his absence - while unfortunate - isn't a major shock. 

Holland's absence could be felt against a Washington offense that ranks second in the NFL in total passing yards.  That could be somewhat of an issue if Miami's offense can get a lead and the Commanders turn to the air to try to keep up. 

On the positive side, T Terron Armstead, G Robert Hunt, G Lester Cotton, and T Kendall Lamm are all active and available today, so Miami's offensive line should receive a much-needed boost against the Commanders.
